St. Pat's Fun + Free Image + Who Won?

All smiles - that's me! We just got back from visiting my daughter and her husband (and, of course, their HUGE Airedale puppy, Percy). Let me just say, he is already 60 pounds and is not through growing!Margarida from All Is Full of Love and I have a giveaway going on that ends now! Who won? Let's look at another project first!

Margarida has a lovely selection of colors available in these pillow boxes - go to All Is Full of Love to see them all. You'll also find patterns: stripes, dots and hearts - so cute!

I used a vintage bridge tally for decoration. Love her costume! You can download her HERE. Just right click and download.I've got a couple of quick tutorials to make shamrocks. One to make the chenille stem shamrock that I used on the last post (on the handle of the shamrock treat cup) and also the felt shamrock that I used on the pillow box above.

To make the chenille stem shamrock you just need one chenille stem. The last picture doesn't even have any adhesive yet - it holds together really well. I used hot glue and just pressed the middle of the shamrock to the handle of the treat cup.

I used a die to cut the hearts and just cut a strip for the stem using scissors. Easy!

Thank you to everyone who left such sweet comments - wish we had a giveaway for everyone! As always, Jenny was selected randomly by my darling husband - plucked her name right out of the bowl! We like the old fashioned way sometimes!!

Jenny: please email me lhairston@cox.net or click on it in my right sidebar. I'll need your address to mail you all your goodies!
